Deputies began an investigation into Stanford’s actions late last week after receiving a complaint that he had been in contact with the teenage victim he was convicted of having an improper relationship with earlier this year.

The victim’s family had filed for a civil protection order in February after the Bellefontaine Police Department began investigating his relationship with the victim.

On July 19, Stanford pleaded guilty to attempted illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material. During that time, he was ordered by the court to have no contact with the victim or her family.
